Mr. Sris, the firm’s founder and managing attorney, is admitted in Virginia, Maryland, the District of Columbia, New Jersey, and New York.

How a US M&A Lawyer Supports San Isidro Transactions
Cross-border M&A transactions involving a San Isidro target or acquirer often require US legal counsel to navigate federal securities laws, antitrust review, and cross-border structuring. The Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 govern the offer and sale of securities in the United States, including when a US investor acquires an interest in a Peruvian entity or when a Peruvian company seeks US capital. US counsel also addresses the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act if the transaction meets certain size thresholds, and the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) when due diligence uncovers potential bribery risks. The firm’s US-admitted attorneys handle these US-law components, while the Peru-law side is managed by the firm’s Peru Of Counsel.
Structuring a cross-border deal also requires attention to tax, intellectual property, and employment law. US counsel works with the client’s Peruvian advisors to ensure that the transaction documents are enforceable under US law and that any US regulatory filings are timely and accurate. The firm’s approach is to serve as the US-law anchor, coordinating with Martín Mayandía on Peru-law matters so that the client receives integrated advice without any attorney practicing outside their licensed jurisdiction.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a US lawyer for a San Isidro M&A deal?
Yes, if the transaction involves US parties, US securities, or US regulatory requirements. A US-licensed attorney ensures compliance with federal and state laws that may apply even when the target company is in Peru. For example, a US investor acquiring a San Isidro business may need to file with the SEC or comply with US anti-money laundering rules. The firm’s US-admitted attorneys handle these aspects, while Peru-law matters are addressed by the firm’s Peru Of Counsel.
What US laws apply to cross-border M&A?
Key US laws include the Securities Act of 1933, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act, and the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. The Securities Act governs the offer and sale of securities; the Exchange Act covers ongoing reporting and antifraud provisions. Hart-Scott-Rodino requires premerger notification for large transactions. The FCPA prohibits bribery of foreign officials and requires accurate books and records. The firm’s US-admitted attorneys advise on these statutes and coordinate with Peru counsel on local law.

What is the difference between a US M&A lawyer and a Peruvian M&A lawyer?
